eeds from the sale of these foreclosed properties are being used to pay teachers’ salaries and benefits. This is an inane comment.

Grosso actually wrote that “(teachers’) financial demands caused (the displaced) to lose their homes — meaning that teachers are at fault for people losing their homes?

Really?

Grosso needs to get a clue. Perhaps he should seek out some public school teachers and he might learn that they, like many middle-class Americans, are struggling during these tough economic times. Using his logic, perhaps all public schools should be shut down so parents could then be on their own in securing a private school education for their children.

Perhaps Grosso can pitch this plan to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a cure-all for our sick economy.

In the meantime, I pray that Grosso spares us his future nuggets of wisdom and retires his poison pen.
